learning vocabulary related to computers and technology. Let's start with some interesting

words that we have on the board. The first word, adware as the word suggests from the

beginning part, ad, ad refers to advertisements. So when you download a particular application,

you may have noticed a lot of ads popping up on your screen, that's because that particular

application has already stored adware in it which leads to the popping up of these advertisements

which sometimes also get a virus into your device. So be very careful about the applications

that you use. They might contain adware and cause you to have a virus on your device.

So adware is the pre-stored advertisements.

Let's look at the next word, application or apps which you've already heard. So these

are software which is designed for a singular use or individual use by a person. It is a

common platform but you can download it exclusively on your phone or on your computer. For example,

a Facebook app or a Gmail app on your phone. For individual use.

Let's look at the next word, bloatware or fatware. Can you guess something from the

words? So something, who is fat? Somebody who consists a lot of space. The same way,

bloatware or fatware consists a lot of space on your device. They are pre-stored software

on your device. So when you buy a computer probably or even a phone, an Android phone.

When you buy it, there are some pre-stored applications like Gmail or play store. These

are what you call, bloatware, with a lot of bloatware in your device, you don't have enough

space to store personal data and that's when you're in need of a memory card to save some

personal data. So pre-stored apps. I wouldn't be very biased towards Apple users. So when

you buy an Apple phone, you have pre-stored applications like iTunes.

Let's look at the next word, bug. Have you heard of this word before? Something like

stop bugging me. Stop irritating me. The same way, the word, bug means something that irritates

you. So when you download particular software, sorry a particular application or software,

it has stored bugs in itself. So bugs are basically some faults in the written script

of the application. For example, JavaScript or PHP. So the program writer has made some

mistakes while writing the script and that ends up having, because of that you end up

having bugs while you're using the software and suddenly your phone hangs or the particular

application just crashes and you're not able to use it. So they are quite irritating like

the little bugs that we face every day. Stored mistakes in the written language or the written

program code.

Let's look at the next word, cache. So cache are small pieces of information, not the cash

that we usually know in terms of money. Cache is pre-stored information. Information pieces

on your device whenever you visit a particular website, there is data that your device or

maybe your computer stores locally. When you visit the website for the second time, the

pictures and the information load much quicker and let's talk about Facebook. So when you're

logging into Facebook, it asks you do you want to browser to remember the files and

where does the browser remember those files. It remembers those files as a cache memory

which is a temporary memory on your device.

Similarly, we have cookies which are also temporary files on your device. So whenever

you log into Facebook you see a list of login IDs that have previously logged into the website

and those are cookies. Stored information on a particular website.

Zoom....crash, this is how the plane crashes and this is exactly how an application can

also crash or your device can also crash when it has some corrupted files. So whenever your

device crashes suddenly or unexpectedly it stops working, that is when your device has

crashed and you need to get it corrected. Probably by an IT technician. An unexpected

halt in your device.

Alright, let's look at the next word, a firewall. It's like a wall of fire, not literally

but then a defensive wall that protects your device from a virus or other devices to hack

your information. so when you're working on a computer network, it's possible that other

computer users might want to hack your information but if you have installed a firewall in your

network, there's a high possibility that your information will be safe and your device will

not be hacked. So this prevents your device from being hacked. Prevention from hacking

but a firewall is different from antivirus. Antivirus stops the virus from entering into

your device and firewall prevents hacking. So you should have both of them on your computer

to keep it safer.

Let's look at the next word, hardware. Well, that's a very commonly heard term. We know

that software is the part of the computer that you cannot touch, which is non-tangible

but hardware is the parts or the units of the computer that you can touch, for example,

your desktop, your CPU and your keyboard, is what hardware is. The tangible parts of

a computer

and now we are going to look at the next words.

Homepage. So the word home here means the first page that you see when you click on

a website. It usually links to other websites for example, if your homepage or on your computer

is Google. So when you log in to your device or your computer, the first page that appears

on the screen is Google and it has links to other websites. So when you want to visit

other websites, you can type into the search bar and it will lead you to other links but

the first page on your screen or the first page of a website is called a homepage. The

first page of a website.

Let's look at the word, netiquette. Does that sound like a word that you ever heard

before? Something like etiquette? Yes, netiquette is the etiquette that you require on computer

or networks or the internet. These are some informal rules that are designed for users

on the internet. So you should really avoid stalking other people's website, that's not

good. That's one computer netiquette and you should also try not to share your personal

information on the internet. For example, particularly on a public network. You should

not share your banking details or your login ID and password for an important website.

So be sure, you follow the computer netiquette. The informal rules designed for the users.

Spam, spam is also be used outside of the computer vocabulary like the unwanted people

in your life are spam. The same way, the unwanted emails that go into your trash or junk folder

are called spam. So if you have any spam in your life, you need to get rid of it and if

you've got any spam on your email or on your email account, then you need to empty your

trash folder or your junk file. Unwanted Emails. These emails are usually promotional in nature

and they are there for marketing purposes. So for example, you've subscribed to a particular

website, all the emails that you receive from that website for promotional purposes will

go into your trash folder but your personal emails will be in the main and primary inbox.

So that can be differentiated and it makes it easier for you to understand and organize

your account.

Let's look at the next word, spyware something like adware, it sounds similar. So spyware

is when you have a particular website, for example, Google continuously spies the website

that you are visiting. So if you're planning a trip to Dubai and you've recently searched

for it, after some time when you visit another website, there will be an ad popping up on

the other half of the page for a trip to Dubai. The cheapest trip to Dubai, trip to Dubai.

You know this cannot be a coincidence, there's surely someone spying on you and possibly

that's Google. So you should really sue them and they have spyware installed on their website,

which comes, the moment you click on the website. To detect your internet habits.

With that let's look at the second last word, VC, video conference; this is also a very

common term. You must have heard of Skype, that's exactly what Video Conference is.

When you can see somebody and listen to somebody at the same time. Sometimes it can be between

two people and sometimes it can be between more than two people. It could be a group

of 5 to 10 people but what you need is that everyone should have that particular application

installed on their device. So only when it's installed, when Skype is installed on another

person's device, you can have a Skype conference or a video conference with that person. An

audiovisual communication on the internet.

With that, we look at the last word, which is really hard to pronounce, it's kind of

weird. How do we call that? Do you wanna try it? Weezee, weezee, something, it's called

WYSIWYG which means what you see is what you get. Yes not in the video but otherwise. So

when you're using software, there are certain software, for example, video editors like

After Effects, when you're using that software if you're clicking on the red colour that's

exactly what you'll see on the screen. If you're clicking on any other feature of the

website, sorry of the software, it will appear on the screen and the same thing is going

to go for the print or the filming of the video that you're editing. So what you see

is what you get.

I wish this rule was applicable to our lives as well. So that whatever we saw is only what

we got and then we wouldn't want to see anything bad. I hope you come back with another vocabulary

for another vocabulary lesson with me Michelle. I hope to see you very soon, till then you

take care, bye.
